Why Are African Migrants Risking Life And Limb Crossing From France To UK??? by danberg: 12:20am On Jul 31, 2015
Hi folks,

I saw this stuff on TV (Al Jazeera and BBC) about thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East risking their lives cutting through rows od high security barbed wire fences to hitch rides on trains to the UK via Calais. I have not been to France before but I was thinking France with all its beautiful spots including its world-famous capital, Paris, would be the real deal?? Can Nlers in diaspora enlighten us as to why these folks are risking life and limb to cross the channel to England even when they are already in a developed country (France)?

Awaiting your contributions

Thanks!

They are from Egypt, Libya, Morocco.

It will interest you to know that these people has a crazy mentality of Europe than the West Africans! Probably they are closer though.

grin With good reason too. The aftermath of the sl called 'Arab Spring' in these countries have left them mostly improverished and quite hopeless.

Lols been on for a long time and its been on the news for some months now.I think because of the language barrier so it favors those who can speak and they have strict rules.heard britian pays more when it comes to salaries and jobwise too.
